Featured Is this round cloth thing to be used for flatware?

I think it was meant to hold and serve dinner rolls at the table.

Yours is pretty .... mine are very plain

 

Put it in a basket or a bowl and put rolls in the pockets to keep them warm?

 

2 minds with but a single thought.

 

Make that 3!

 

Hi,
It was also done to keep them warmer.

And so you politely only touched the roll you were taking.....& little Freddy didn't get his snotty hands all over every roll in the basket.....so that the next day everyone at the table had caught his cold !!

 

I am late to this, but everyone is correct a mundo. I have one of these somewhere in my linen closet, cept my is blue and white.

 

We used to make them in first year Home-Ec. Not that there weren't already 3 or 4 at home.

 

Just seen this. My grandmother used to make these and I still have one. For rolls, indeed.

 

Huh, I never knew these even existed!

 

I have a linen one with lace trim that I bought in Brussels many years ago. I only used it once!

 

well we can't have our buns, I mean rolls, falling out and about, hence the snaps.
LOL
